Dog Parvo Symptoms: November 2008

How do I prevent Parvo when I already have an older dog in the home and will be bringing a new puppy home?

Answer

If your dogs are vaccinated, you have nothing to worry about

Need help with Parvo! I don't have much money.?

My dog is just a little over a year. For about four days now he has had vomiting, diarea, and is not taking in any food or water. I just recently lost two puppies (younger than one year) who had the same symptoms. But I can't lose this dog. When I noticed they had these symptoms I gave them a 7-in-one shot, but it doesn't looked to have helped. Are ther any home remedies you can sugesst? Or are there any vets who run by means of sliding scale or will work out a payment plan?? I live in Tampa FL. Not to far from Brandon. Please please help .

Answer

If you can muster up enough money for an office visit, Parvo test, and meds, then your vet should be able to give you instructions to follow at home. The outcome is no guaranty, but there's no guaranty when hospitalizing either. You MUST keep the dog hydrated!!! Dehydration is usually the cause for death rather than the actual virus itself. You should probably not offer any solid foods right now as this is only going to continue to irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines. Pedialyte is an excellent source for electrolites to help avoid dehydration. It may need to be given through an oral syringe if the dog refuses. Chicken broth is an alternative if you are completely unsuccessful with the Pedialyte. The salty flavor of the chicken broth is difficult for the dog to resist. I've tried using chicken bouillon cubes to make broth and I've also bought the broth in a can -- pre-made broth has worked better for me. Also, remember that your baby's tummy is very sensitive right now, gulping water or any substance is likely to induce vomiting, so you need to administer in small amounts but VERY frequently to give time for the tummy to settle down. There's a couple more things that are extremely important: ISOLATION and SANITATION! This is not only for the benefit of your baby, but others as well. I've included some links below that I found informational and helpful when dealing with this nasty virus. The one on Sanitation is very important. Good luck.

My puppy died yesterday of parvo, when can we adopt again?

We had our baby Leia for 3 short days before she started with the symptoms of the deadly parvovirus. My kids are heartbroken, since this was their first puppy. We would like to get a new puppy, and have the chance to do this again. I have seen alot of conflicting information about getting a new dog. My vet said to clean everything with bleach and wait a couple weeks to a month. We really didn't have her very long before finding out and when we did find out she was left outside in a specific area beyond our invisible fence. She really never even went upstairs, since most of our time was spent in our family room. Once we found out, she was kept isolated. This has been a horrible situation and we just want to do what's right. I hope someday they can find a cure for parvovirus and no puppy/dog ever has to suffer the way our baby did. She did not come from a breeder, we rescued her from a shelter. I contacted them immediately upon leaving the vets office and she told me the other dogs were going to be put on hold. By the way, I had her vaccinated the day after we got her, but unfortunetly it was already too late.

Answer

so sorry about ur pup, as long as u clean every nook and cranny and have the new dogs shots u should be able to get another. make sure the outside area is cleaned up where the pup did potty.pour bleach right on the area so it will soak in the ground and do the same for the indoors.get a pup that has already had its shots and even a little older one will be safer since the shots will be in its system. i hope u find the perfect healthly pup to help fill the void in all of ur families hearts and bring happiyness to u and the new dog. good luck

Can i give my dog his parvo shot myself?

I think my other dog might have had parvo and he died at like 5 in the morning when we were sleeping but i woke up cause i heard something and he was dying.. Idk if it was from parvo but if it was could i just get my dog his parvo and will he be fine?? and im just wondering if i can give him the shot myself. If so how much will it cost? .

Answer

No. Your dog needs to go to the vet ASAP. He needs to be up on ALL his shots- parvo, distemper, rabies, etc. I am sorry for you loss, but get your remaining dog to the vet. The vet will be able to tell you how to proceed.

Did my dog have Parvo?

I had a dog during summer and he had diarreha and was puking constintley. His poop was usually green. And it was chunky at times or very very runny. He would never eat even if i opened his mouth and tried forcing him too. Did he have parvo ? Also i just got another puppy yesterday and if he had parvo is he going to catch it too? But also my little brother would always push him around in a baby shopping cart and he fell into cold water sometimes. .

Answer

Green poop is not usually a sign of parvo, but whatever it was, was likely either contagious, like corona virus, or leptospirosis, or adnovirus, or it might be a poison still around your house, like rat bait, or antifreeze. Or maybe the puppy ate grass because it had worms. I hope your new puppy, is being vaccinated by your vet, on a regular schedule, don't let him go more than 3 weeks between vaccines, keep him warm , dry, and not under stress while he's young. You can help be sure that your little brother treats animals with respect, so that they are happy and healthy and can grow up to be your best friend. I'm glad that you care enough about your new puppy to write here. Don't feel bad if people over react, they might not be giving you the benefit of the doubt that you don't have much control in your house.

If my dog had puppy's and 6 of them died but 2 lived will they be effected?

My grandpas dog sarah had puppy's and there was 8 of them. But only 2 lived. And six died at about 6 weeks old. One of them live with me now. Will my dog be affected and die also? He has been de-wormed already because he lived in the country His poop is green but he also at a green milkbone so that might be why and but also when hes sleeping he starts crying and also like shakes a little why?? And also when they were little they slept together could that cause parvo to my dog if the other ones had it ??.

Answer

I doubt he will be affected unless they all had something contagious.

My Puppy has Parvo...when will it go away?

Ok so here's the story...! my puppy is 3 months old going on to 4, he is a siberian husky. the vet told me he had the parvo virus! on friday which was about 6 days ago i took him to the vet to get his shot, it was a parvo shot. and yesterday i took him in again just because i noticed he was sick and would not play with his toys, eat or even eat his treats! i also noticed he threw up and had diariah, he also drank a lot of water but ate nothing! ...so the Vet gave me Nutri Stat high calorie for energy, Capsules, and pills. i give him the Nurti Energy paste morn. afternoon and nite like the vet told me to. the capsule and pill at once night and day. (on the pill and capsule containers it says give 1 each for 6 days) the vet. gave my puppy 2 shots. any who i have been getting a lot of great help from my last question! thanks everyone! but now what i want to know is how long will this parvo thing last? today i saw my pup eat some of his dog food! im not sure if he has been doing that i just havent seen him till today. or if this was the first sign of him feeling a bit better..! someone from the otehr question i posted recomended me giving him gatorade and i just remembered the Vet saying the same thing! i bought him 2 gatorades but he doesnt seem to like them! he sniffs them and then walks away! if i replace the bowl with water he drinks from it!.... i was wondering if i can give him other food since he doesnt eat his own dog food...! can i give him white rice? i read somewhere that it is good for them..... i know my pup is not dehydrated (phew) because i did what the vet asked me to do which was pull his skin and if it goes down slowly he is dehydrated if it goes back into place he is fine! my pup's skin snaps right into place so he is fine! im still very concerned though...! what if i wake up one day and he doesn...:[ im so scared!!!! when will i notice results...? please help... i researched this parvovirus thing and it says most dogs don't survive it! but i believe i took my pup right on time! i did not wait sooo much! about 3 days the max! any who he has been on this treatment for 1 full day, and half a day yesterday! am i going to have to wait until the pills and capsules run out...? grrr i just can't take this....i need something to calm me down...... my puppy started to play with his toys today but not much not like he used too! one last thing.. since he got the parvo shot already and has the virus will he get the virus again?

Answer

The best thing for your puppy is to actually bring him back to the vet (assuming there is 24 hour care, if not then go to the hospital) and get your dog on fluids and IV antibiotics. The fluids really help these dogs pass the virus more quickly and you avoid any kind of stomach upset by administering the antibiotics through an IV. Sure, dehydration is a huge issue with parvo, but keeping your dog hydrated is only one reason we put a dog on fluids in the hospital. We need that virus to flush through and a dog will not drink as much as he needs to at home - plain and simple. Parvo can have long reaching effects throughout a dog's life. Even when he does survive, he often will have a more compromised immune system and that's something that doesn't go away. This is all the more reason why we want the recovery from parvo to be expedited and it's why these dogs are best hospitalized. So if there is any way you can do this, I would absolutely start now. As for the shot - your dog will be naturally immune so no further shots for parvo will be necessary. All risk, no gain. Once a dog is immune to a disease via vaccination or through getting the disease itself, the dog is immune. Good luck!

DOg just died of Parvo and we have aothe rdog?

Good morning Yesterday we got the bad news that our puppy died of parvo. We took our other dog in to be tested and the test came back negative. The vet sent her home with an anti-nausea med and an antibiotic. She might possibly be preganant and is two years old. This morning I woke up and she had had diarhea twice and there was no visible blood and no smell like with our puppy. She got up and drank a whole lot of water and didn't eat anything. She has not thrown up or anything so I really don't know what to think. We are taking her to the vet in 45 min when they open...The ER vet would take us twice as long to get there. She is also shivering. I guess my question is Do you think this is parvo again or do you think this is side effects of the antibiotic? I know you are not vets (some of you might be) I just need a little hope to hold onto before taking her...I can't lose another dog??? Yes Jerk I do vaccinate my dogs!!!! If you are suck a top contributer you would know that even vaccinated dogs can get the virus and that there are now mutant strains out there which is how my dog died it just couldn't be treated!!! So just watch yourself before you go throwing stones!!! Not every pregnancy in a dog is irresposibility. We are going to get her spayed but you people on your high horses around here need to get off and realize that there are other people out there who love there dogs more than anything!!! This is not me acting like an insensative baby I just lost a dog yesterday and might possibly loose another one. Sorry to be a bit defensive but when I come to you for advise I don't need to be questioned. She did test positive for parvo. The Vet said that disease keeps mutating into different strands that they cannot vacinate for. So check with you vets, you never want to see your puupy die from this. I am sorry for any "rude" responses I am not mad at you all for asking any of the valid questions but just asuming that that I don't vacinate or asuming that we don't already have homes for these much wanted puppies!!! She did test positive for parvo and the doctor thinks she will be fine she's eating and drinking and on two diffrent antibiotics along with antinaussea and antidiarrhea!!!! I am just so sad about our puppy who passed and we don't have children so those two puppies are all we have and now ones gone and the other one is fighting off this horrible disease!!!!

Answer

The dog you still have....has it been vaccinated? If so it should be ok but if not there is a good chance it will get parvo. I hope she will be ok. There have been so many posts lately about dogs getting parvo. Are people not vaccinating their dogs? ETA: I just read your very rude addition. It's quite normal to ask if a parvo dog has been vaccinated. What is wrong with you, there's no need to be so rude. ETA: Ok yes, I am sorry you lost your pup to such a horrible disease but if we don't ask questions we don't know so can't give a responsible answer to your question. I'm sure you want genuine answers rather than just replying with no sensible thought to your question.

My dog Riley has parvo...how likely that he will survive?

Last night I noticed that he was acting strange, and so this morning I took him to the vet. He had thrown up and wouldn't eat anything and was lethargic, but otherwise had no symptoms. He tested positive for parvo. The vet gave him a shot of penicillin and gave us amoxicillin pills as well as pain medicine and told us we could give him pepto. We're doing all of these things and keeping him in a warm bed. We're giving him pedialyte via syringe several times a day. He's not so lethargic that he won't come out of his crate to greet us when we open it, but he's not his typical hyper self.

Answer

I'm not a vet, but my sister had a guide dog in training that had parvo last year...he bounced back and is doing fine, in fact, he is so well that they had to send him back to the guide dog school to complete his training. So it can turn out fine.

My dog had the parvo virus and now her leg looks like a ballon why?

My dog was hospitalized for a week with parvovirus. she survived.But being that she was with IV all them days, the same leg the Iv was on looks like a balloon i noticed the vet never changed or switch the IV from the leg. Is he suppose to? my dog is cured of the virus but still hospitalized because of her leg. It looks like a balloon. The dog had and has all vaccination. she's 9 months old. thanks ofcourse i asked the vet already but He's never going to say it was his fault he should of moved the IV to another spot or leg. I went and saw the dog everyday and she was fine. 2 days befor i was supose to take her home she dint have Iv on her leg and it was fine. 2 days later I go pick her up and her leg is huge. Dont say ask the vet cause he isn't going to saw its his fault and im not saying it is. i just thought its wierd. I know that if you put the IV in wrong it can and will cause a similar reaction. Been that i asked the vet and he said dont worry im not going to charge you for the days extra that the dog has to stay nor the medicine that makes me feel like he did something wrong.

Answer

you need to ask the vet that treated her this question. it could be any number of things: her vein blew around the catheter, the catheter came out slightly and leaked, an infection, etc...

can a goat get parvo from a infected parvo puppy?

ok so ive recently lost 3 of my dogs to parvo,and please dont bash me about shoulda taken them to vet or any of that cause i did and they said id have to pay up to 9000$ after the course of being in the hospital so i could not afford that i am only 17,but anyways i want to have a pet and obviously im not allowed to have a dog cause they keep geting taken away from me,so ive looked into a diffrent alternative,a pet goat,so what im wondering is even if i cleaned and bleached 4 times already the house and the yard can a pet goat get parvo or any other parvo like virus just cause of a dog befor who had it,please answer cause i dont wanna bring another animal to its doom here.

Answer

Parvovirus does not transfer from dogs to other species, but it is highly contagious and will transmit to other dogs who have not been properly vaccinated. Parvo will not transmit to goats, but goats can be infected with numerous other diseases. Typical vaccinations for goats is a twice-yearly CDT injection, which prevents enterotoxemia, tetanus and pasteurella. Another common deficiency that goats should be protected against is white muscle disease, which results from a selenium deficiency. This is usually injected to pregnant does before kidding to protect the unborn kids. Also, a coccidiosis prevention regime should be used, particularly in young kids. Most adults develop a resistance to this, but it can be fatal to kids under 6 months. Goats can pick up parasites, particularly intestinal worms, mites and lice, from other species. This can happen pretty readily if they are kept on the same pasture as dogs or deer that carry these parasites. If your puppies had worms (roundworms, tapeworm, etc.) the cross- infection risk is pretty high. I don't recommend keeping goats on pasture that has been exposed to dog feces. Deer populations also transmit listeriosis (circling disease). This is a fast moving brain fever that can kill an untreated animal in less than 48 hours, and vet treatment is required for recovery. There are also other viral diseases that have no cure. If you are considering owning a goat, do some research on CAE (caprine arthritic encephalitis). There is also Johnne's Disease, which is a chronic wasting disease. Either of these illnesses are untreatable, and a symptomatic animal can suffer horribly. Keeping goats (not just one, they do need a companion) is not an inexpensive endeavor. Grain, hay and basic vet care can equal or surpass the cost of keeping a dog. As you've said that you don't have the money to pay for vet care for your dog(s), I wouldn't recommend getting a goat. We do nearly all of our own vet work ourselves, but feed isn't cheap, and the cost of hay is forever going up. If you want a pet, consider something smaller - perhaps a rabbit or cavie or a couple of chickens if you have a small coop. And if you do decide to get another pet, please do your research beforehand. Any animal can get sick or injured, and you want to know how to care for them properly before you bring a new animal home. Do your homework first. And even a rabbit is going to cost money - feed, housing, bedding and such can still add up.

one year old dog get parvo?

I got a 14 week old puppy last week that had parvo. Unfortunately it died the next day. I didn't know it had parvo and the shelter said she had been vaccinated. I have bleached and i only had her for 24 hours, she was only in 2 rooms and one corner of the yard. I have cleaned a lot. I still want a dog but dont want to risk a puppy. So i found this dog online who looks really sweet. So my question is would a 1 and 2 month year old collie mix be all right if I make sure he has been vaccinated? I really want to be sure he wont get sick, I can't go through losing a new pup again.

Answer

A 1 year old unvacinated dog can technically get parvo but dogs never die of it at that age. At worst he would get a little fluish for a couple days. The best thing to do is get a dog that is vaccinated already, but any dog at 1 year or over has enough reserves to fight the virus. It is young puppies that don't have any immune system and electrolyte reserves to fight parvo.

I always heard that you should keep a dog out of a yard where there had ben Parvo virus for at least one year?

Answer

Not heard that BUT....MAKE SURE YOUR DOG has it's shots and you won't have to worry about it!!!!!!!!!!! Also, a dog that has had parvo...it's so contagious that washing everything down with bleach doesn't even get rid of it completely.. It's spread mostly airborne and is almost always fatal. If the puppy/dog survives, it will be lucky and expensive. That's why shots are SO IMPORTANT!!!!! The puppy/dog stops eating and drinking and is literally bleeding to death on the inside...IT'S A CRUEL DISEASE!!!!!!!!!! I heard a woman who lost their dog to parvo and she bleached down every thing..but, it was on the bottom of her shoes and then the other woman's dog caught it....sorry earlier, fell asleep on the keyboard...

PARVO? just wondering what it is?

so a few questions: 1. what is it 2. how do you or a pet get it? 3. if my puppy gets it, how could i tell? 4. what are the symptoms? 5. can it be treated at home? 6. how long will it last? 7. how long does a dog have to live if she gets parvo? 8. is it easy to get? 9. is it alot of money to get it treated at the vet? thankyou! .

Answer

1) Parvo is a virus that attacks young dogs (puppies typically). 2) It is picked up by contamination from another dog (doesn't have to be direct contact), or from the environment. 3) If your puppy gets parvo, you will know by the symptoms below. 4) It causes the lining of the intestines to slough off, causing bloody diarrhea and severe dehydration, as well as vomiting and lethargy. The diarrhea has a very characteristic foul odor. These are usually the first signs of parvo, as it takes 7-10 days to incubate. 5) Parvo must be addressed by a veterinarian, as many dogs must be put on antibiotics to prevent secondary infections, as well as antiemetics to stop the vomiting and subcutaneous or intraveinous fluids. 6) The virus takes about 10 days to completely run it's course, although supportive treatment is usually needed for longer. 7) The prognosis depends on the individual dog, and how soon they are treated. 8) Parvo is extremely contagious and can live in the ground for 5+ years after being exposed. This is why it's extremely important to vaccinate puppies on a regular schedule and keep them away from any questionable dogs/places until they are fully vaccinated and older. 9) Cost just depends on severity of case and clinic, it can run anywhere from $200 to over $1000.

Info on parvo disinfecting?

Hey, well my family and i adopted a puppy last week, and the next day it was diagnosed with parvo. The shelter it came from told us it had been vaccinated and we had never had any dogs with parvo before, so we were shocked when is started showing extreme syptoms all at once. We rushed it to the vet and it had to stay there.Unfortunately it didn't make it. It was 14 wks old, and aparently had it when we got it, although it seemed fine the first day. Anyway, we don't have any other dogs, but we still want a puppy. We know how risky this is. So we have contacted a breeder that has a litter of 7 australian sheperds due in 1 week. They would be ready to be adopeted by mid January. We need to know what we can do to make sure this puppy doesn't get sick. We would love any products that kill parvo, we know about bleach. But we have 4 cats so it would have to be safe to use around them. We only had the puppy for 2 days. It only peed outside 4 times in one corner of the lawn. And was only in our 2 main rooms. We wil; throughh out all bedding and toys. But we need to know all we can to make sure the future puppy is safe. Also, we live in maine so if it snows outside will that kill the virus on out lawn? ANy mean answers will be reported, it is not out fault the puppy died, and we are not ignorant for getting another, be considerate!

Answer

Preventing Parvo Preventing parvo in your dog is a two-step approach: F I R S T: Vaccinating your puppy and keeping your adult dog up-to-date with regular booster shots can prevent Parvovirus. Consult your veterinarian to determine an appropriate inoculation schedule. S E C O N D: Follow these precautions to prevent the spread of the virus: - Do not allow your puppy to socialize where other dogs have been until your veterinarian indicates it is safe to do so - - after puppy shots. It is much better to forego early socialization than to take unnecessary risks. After all, you cannot train a dead puppy! - Ask your veterinarian about what vaccination protocol is best for your pet and stick to it. - If you have been in an area where dogs frequent - park, pet store, etc. - disinfect your shoes and keep them outside your home. If parvo is rampant in your area, this also applies to your clothing. Be sure and wash your hands and then disinfect them using a solution of one part bleach to 30 parts water. - There are several parvo disinfectants on the market but regular bleach is still 100% effective and much less costly. The dilution is one part of chlorine bleach to 30 parts of water. REMEMBER: bleach will remove color from dyed fabrics or objects, so the commercial disinfectants have that advantage. Keep spray bottles filled with your disinfectant solution at each entry to your home and yard; ask guests to spray their shoes and hands. Pick up feces and vomitus immediately and then disinfect the area. It is much better to kill the grass or bleach the concrete than risk your pup! Keep the pup's environment clean at all times. *Just remember to never spray bleach or any other solution directly on your puppy*

help! my dog is very sick...?

Saturday, he wasn't feeling well...just laying around the house. Sunday, he wouldn't eat his dry food, so I bought some moist food, and he ate through out that day a whole can of moist food. Monday, he was throwing up clear stuff. I took him to vet monday, vet said he could have intestinal virses going on and gave him anitbotics. yesterday (Tuesday) at 5am, he was pooping blood diarhrehea, not poop....BLOOD! and throwing up clear stuff. at 8am he did the same thing. I called the vet at 9 when they opened and brought him back to vet. vet still thinks its some sort intestinal virses. he been checked for Parvo and it's negative. I just can't sleep, it's 1:30am and thought I would get some idea of what is going on with my dog. he is 6 months old half lab half boxer. also we have 2 other dogs in our house...and they both are fine. any idea? he tested negative for parvo. and the vet kept him last night, so he is staying at the vet hospital.

Answer

You should get a second opinion or press your vet to confirm he does not need to be admitted for supportive fluid and shock prevention. I went through this exact same thing last week with a foster. Possible conditions causing this if parvo negative e-coli, samonilla, giardia, HGE (potentionally recurrent GI issue of unknown orgin), hookworm if the stool is soft with a clear film over the stool. Edit: Day 1 soft unformed stool- no visible blood, lack of appitite, stool sample taken to vet showed increased bateria and blood. Tx oral antibiotics antidiareal paste, dewormed. Day 2 diareah with visible blood, vomiting clear fluid, pale gums, temp 101.7 neg. Parvo. Tx. Vet visit, at home 300cc sub q fluids am/pm with vitamin b complex, sub q antibiotics and anti nausea drugs. Day 3 no vomiting, 3 episodes of rectal bleed, loss of 200-300cc of blood with each episode overnight and 3 more in am after fluids- no stool, white gums, limbs feel cold and stiff, temp of 100.7 personality chang was very clinggy. Tx IM Vitamins K, admitted to the hospital for 3 days, transfusion, IV fluids and continuation of previous treatments. After discharge his was on a ricewater diet phasing in steamed rice, we are going to phase in cottage cheese, chicken and finally plain yogurt and eventually kibble. Day 9 initiated a game of tag and tug I war with my personal dog, and has been trying to steal his food and food off the counter, today I gave him an extra serving of rice/ rice mush. Even though these guys tested neg. For parvo they need aggresive supportive treatment as if they have parvo. They said this guy would not have lived through the day if he had not gotten the supportive treatments and not been admitted when we did. I would even consider an emergency vet if he is showing the day 3 signs. Bleach does not kill e-coli/samonilla, you need to clean using with a strong amonia mix followed 3 days later with bleach or vice versa. Humans can get this without good hand washing and if the enviroment is not throughly cleaned.

would you keep your 7month old puppy pit if- he already had parvo cost $300 plus a week of full time care ?

2 if 2 weeks later he had an erection that did not retract into his sheath because he did not mate with a dog in heat cost $200. 3 i bought him for $250... .

Answer

Animals are alot of work and can be very expensive. You obviously care enough to go through Parvo which is a horrible thing and can be very expensive. So, you are probably in a little shock having to fork over so much money so soon. But look at the big picture. You have a puppy who Im sure loves you and a companion that will stand by your side no matter what. Some times we have to give alittle ( in your case alot ) to get alittle. Animals need us and we need them. It was very noble of you. Good luck with your bundle of fluff !

Answer

so sorry about all the tragedy u have been through its so hard to lose our famiily members and then our pets.it has happened to all of us at sometime and it is never easy getting over our grief until time passes.my brother who is in his fifties has been going through a hard time with his dog since the dogs kidneys are almost shut down and is on on going treatments to save him, like u there is a lot of stress in our lives and having a sick dog who loves us no matter what is a big part of our family.us dog people on here know how important our dogs are and we do what we can to make them comfortable so they can be with us for many yrs and unfotunately we have to lose them when we can no longer get them in good health.i have had a few dogs put down due to illnesses and it is hard but as time passes it does get easier and i always get another pooch to help fill that gap and give him a good loving home.there is a special place in my heart for my lost pets and i always picture them with my family members who have passed on in heaven enjoying each others company until we are all together again. try to get a new pup and he will be ur new best bud and help fill the void in ur heart.it will not just help u with ur grief but also the dog by giving him a wonderfull home with u. i wish u all the best and good luck

My dog has parvo and i need help!?!?

My dog has parvo and we already took him to the vet two days ago. Today i took him back becuase he stopped taking in gatorade. Rigth now he looks really sick! he doesnt move and is breathing heavily. He pooped red liquid which i dont konw if it was becuase of the red gatorade or blood. What should i do now? please help .

Answer

You don't need help, you need to place him in intensive care at your vets and stop trying to take care of this on your own. Ask your vet to keep him for the duration of the disease, and during this time, you go home and bleach everything from the floor to the ceiling, and everything between. http://www.vetlocator.com/hotline.php

Question about parvo??

A while ago my puppy had parvo, I took him to the vet and he is better now and about a week ago he got his vaccinations. I was wondering if he is still contagious to other dogs?? Thanks! Yeah I bleache my whole yard and house where he had been. I want to take him camping with me and my friends and they are taking their dogs. .

Answer

Like answerer #1 said, your yard/house still are. Bleach anything that you can including any parvo pooped or throw up areas outside. This will kill parvo germs. Any furniture or stuff that the dog came into contact with while sick should be placed in the yard for an entire day.

How long after having a puppy die of Parvo can I get a new one?

My puppy lived with us for a month and we had to put her to sleep 2 days ago because she tested positive for Parvo and Hook worms. The breeder lied about the shots. How long should we wait to bring a new puppy home? (our dog was an inside dog, we have an apartment.) I want to get my new puppy a parvo shot ASAP but the one I have in mind will be 6 weeks old in two weeks so we would take her home on the 17th of November. Is there a certain age a puppy has to be to get a parvo shot? Thanks! I was actually wrong about the age of the puppy. It will be around 8-9 weeks old when it would be coming home, has had first round of shots, getting second round soon (with verification papers from the breeders vet). If I get the carpets cleaned by a profesional and bleech everything, would that still be too soon to get her?

Answer

Ok she tested positive for Parvo .. and you put her down?Parvo can be cured .. but you put her down? Testing positive for Parvo isn't a death sentence you have the Vet admit her Get her or him Iv fluids etc AND THEY NEED SHOTS and hook worms are preventable .. AND NOW A NEW PUP ... BACK YARD BREEDER ? MAYBE ... OMG THIS IS SAD

How long should we wait to bring a new puppy home after we lost one to Parvo?

Last month, we lost our Bonita (dachshund - chihuahua mix) to Parvo. She got sick the day after we brought her home. We didn't plan on bring a puppy home, but we fell in love with her and they really couldn't afford dog food, so we in essence rescued her. To make a long story short, she had contracted Parvo probably a week before we got her. We did all we could, we spend our Disney land money at the vet's (I'm very proud of my children, it was their choice). We now have the opportunity to bring in a new puppy, however other than getting her vaccinated and re-disinfecting everything... what can I do to ensure the new puppy will not get sick? I cannot afford (both financially and more so emotionally) to loose another puppy. Bonita was indoors (for the week we had her) an only went outside to go potty. Thankyou so much all of you. We had thrown away anything she came in contact with. My fear was the new puppy being so young. She is only 2 weeks old right now. So it is needless to say, we will not be brining this puppy home. it breaks my heart, but it would hurt so much more to have to put her down. Perhaps next year, we will adopt an older pup, as many of you suggested. Thankyou!

Answer

I believe that the Parvo vaccine can survive 6 months - a year. My concern is that you don't have any savings back-up now for a pup. My recommendation would be to wait at least a year to allow the virus to die and to save up $2500. Then, you'll be all set to go with everything and wont' have rushed into anything. Also, Parvo generally appears in puppies within 3 days of exposure - not a week. I'm very sorry for your loss. When you are ready, sometime next year, head to http://www.petfinder.com and rescue a pup from a legit group where the dog has been vet tested and vaccinated.

How to naturally get rid of fleas?

I have a puppy. She's about 6 months old now. We got her from a place that I think had to be a puppy mill. I've taken her to the vet repeatedly for ear problems, worms, and even a case of parvo. Anyway, I can't seem to get rid of the fleas. I've tried a natural flea shampoo, and it works to get rid of them for the time being, but they always come back. We have two other dogs, and they never had a problem before and now they do. I really don't want to use Frontline because I don't think it's probably good for her.

Answer

Use Frontline to get rid of them and quickly, fleas can cause so many more serious problems, that it is worth the risk. I give my dogs 4 brewers yeast tablets daily and a garlic pearl, this is a more natural way to stop then getting fleas, worms and ticks that you can use all the time.(but get rid of them first) and don't forget to treat carpets, soft furnishings and her bed where flea eggs have been laid otherwise she will continue to be infested as will your other dogs. Buy some Lactol (or similar) puppy/kitten milk (from the pet shop) it is a powder you mix with water, it has all the vitamins, minerals and trace elements young pups need to build her up to be strong and healthy, and its great for old dogs or dogs who are off their food. I use a cloth dripped in 50% white vinegar and 50% warm water to clean ears, the vinegar kills mites and removes wax and baby wipes are good to clean ears with. You need to build her immune system, lots of lead walking will stop her getting anxious, deplete her energy and build her up and call in at the butchers a couple of times a week and get your dogs some fresh bones, that will help with teething, chewing relieves anxiety and she will love you for them. Neem oil is also very good it is a Natural repellent for :- * Fleas * Ticks * Mites (Skin and Ear) * Flies * Mange * Lice Natural Healing aid :- * Minor Cuts, Grazes, broken Skin * Skin Irritations * Itching (Insect bites or Allergies) * Sore or Cracked Pads * Worms * Digestive Upset * Arthritis * Arrythmia * Hair Loss

Question about parvo....?

my moms dog is a parvo survivor. She is around 6 months old give or take. I heard parvo could stay on a shoe or an object for up to 6 months. My question is, since I am dog sitting her dog while my mom is out of town for a death in her husbands family, could a puppy from my dogs litter get it? She is a parvo survivor... and I am dog sitting her at my moms house, not mine. So they are not directly around the dog. P.s our puppies are not even born yet. so they will be too young for shots.

Answer

I believe so~ but I would DEFINITELY call your vet~ Parvo can be fatal...its a very scary thing for dogs to have!!!

3 year old dog parvo question?

hi we just lost 2 dogs over the weekend to parvo, one was 8 weeks and the other was a year old. i have a 3 year old yorkie poo how has had 3 shots of vanguard which is for parvo and distemper. we took him 2 days ago and had him tested for it and they said he didn't have. i know the test isn't 100% cause parvo can live ina dog for 7-10 without showing any signs. i just took him out for a walk and he pooped, and it was completely diarrhea but it wasn't a firm stool, and it looked a little red.

Answer

I don't know the answer, you should call your vet. What I DO know is that parvo is highly contagious and it can live in the infected ground/yard for 5 years, so you may not be able to keep a dog for that long without it contracting parvo. I don't know if there's any way to sterilize the ground for it to be safe, either....there again, talk to your Vet!

A Few Questions About Parvo?

My dog just died of Parvo (12 week old rottweiler puppy!) We thought we caught it early enough, took him to the vet they injected like water or something in his back (it made him look like a camel) they said that it would soak into his body and help him with the dehydration. they also gave him something would coat his intestines to help with it or something i don't really know the whole thing....but i have A LOT of questions that I was hoping that someone could answer.... 1. What is the best treatments or parvo? I know that there is no cure but did my vet miss something or is there something more that he could have done? 2. Is it true that rottweilers have bad immune systems? 3. If a dog gets parvo, can it get it again? Or is it like us when we get a virus where you can get it if it's a different strain? 4. My sister said that parvo is kind of like a humans version of the ebola virus, is that true? 5. A friend of mine couldn't afford the puppy so i took him off of his hands...when i received him i didn't know that he had only had 1 of those 3 shots that they are supposed to get when they are puppies. If he had been up to date on his shots...would the puppy still have received parvo if he had been up to date on his shots? I ask that because I will sue him (if i can) for letting the puppy get 2 shots behind and not telling me about it... anyway...thanks for the help....

Answer

1) Usually intravenous fluids and intravenous antibiotics are required (getting put on a drip). Your dog was given fluids under the skin to help his dehydration. This does not get absorbed as efficiently as intravenous fluids. 2) Not that I've heard. Immunity is not breed-specific. 3) Never sure about this one actually, I think it depends on a variety of factors e.g. strain caught, age of dog, severity of infection etc. I THINK if a dog survives parvo he would have immunity to it for a while but it would not last forever. 4) No the parvo virus is not related to the Ebola virus. 5) If the dog had had his full set of shots he would have been unlikely to get parvo.

I think my dogs recovered from Parvovirus.?

Last week from monday too about thursday he was ill, Throwing up and laying it, Sleeping in odd spots we could never figure out where he was. He tested positive for parvo, and because we didnt have money upfront for treatment we brought him home. Straight after we started feeding him ice cubes too keep him hydrated which he loved, and he slept in mums cupboard which has been disinfected. The next (friday) he was walking around a TINY BIT and stopped throwing up all together, He ate lots of ice.. And was well hydrated, AND he ate cat food. Which was a good sign too us since he hadnt eaten at all. (Saturday)-Started playing again running around and eating tougher meats like steak and sausages, And chewing on ice. (sunday-yesterday in aus)-He was practically back too normal. Now he is completely back too normal Apart from the fact that he still has a little runny poo but its turning hard, and its not as black. =] has he recovered from parvo?

i need help in getting a new dog?

i had a poodle mix named cookie and she died 3 months ago of parvo it was really f@cked up .they say a way of getting over the death of a family pet is to get a new one but i will never foget my dog cookie, and i want another dog the problem is i want a pit bull and my mom is kind of cool but her f@ggot asz boyfriend is beig a f@cking dick he thinks pit bulls are vicous animals and that it will attack his dog wich is a lab retriver but where gonna get it fom a puppy so it should be cool? .

Answer

Pit bulls don't have to be nasty but there are many reasons not to get one-including if you own a house-your insurance company will flip out. I would not get a pit bull for or with a child in the house just for the simple reason that if it does bite the child there WILL be SERIOUS damage-pit bull have 2000 pounds of pressure per inch in their jaws and they lock on. Really not a dog to have with children even if they are well behaved-I would suggest you wait for the pit bull until you are full grown and live on your own.
